RE: FIXED MY IDLE PROBLEMS
fuel pump was happy, after the pressure was eased , the pump is extremely quiet, no more whine[8D], feels like I gained ALOT of power now,3500-6000 rpm gets scary

GTDaniel: I had a 1990 Mustang that did the flickering light thing.
Everything always checked out.
It ended up being the wire going to the right bank Oxy Sensor.
When you went around a corner it would lay against the hot exhaust and burn through the ins. creating a bare spot.
Then everytime it touched after that the light came on.
May not be your problem but it's cheap to take a look.

RE: FIXED MY IDLE PROBLEMS
Same sensor, driver side, front on the intake lower manifold.
An adjustablefuel pressureregulator has no vacum line, so plug your old line with a piece of paper.
I understand fuel pressure guages are expensive, however you can borrow mine with the correct adapter on it for
$10.00 paypal shipped to anyone in USA, and you pay for return shipping of like only $5.00 back to me.
Put the regulator on first, which requires removal of the passeneger side fuel rail and injector connectors, 8mm bolts(2).
and a allen key for the regulator bolts.
25 min procedure
